I have contacted 'erocars' in st. Petersburg, Florida, five tomes regarding the takat safety recall, all the time I received the same answer; 'we will get back to you' but no one has called me back yet. I don't know what to do?

NHTSA ODI report, 2018-07-13

Takata recall. I've been waiting for a year now for a replacement to be available. The date for a replacement has been continually pushed back, and it is unclear when, if ever, a fix will be available.

NHTSA ODI report, 2018-04-26

The dealer in foothill ranch ca refused to fix my car when I took it to have the defective air bag replaced on November 24, 2017. I was told the litigation was not finished and there was nothing they can do about it. My life is a risk. Please fix it.
